The evolution of this 15 year RPG is truly impressive. The online social feature (With Wi-Fi) are great, Combo that with updated 3D graphics and a much smoother & faster game-play and we have another successful Pokemon video game launch! The creators and development team did a wonderful job in creating another Pokemon masterpiece.

Like most RPG video games Pokemon X and Y can be intimidating, Have no fear … Chicago Toy Shop is here! The element-based combat style is easy to get used to whether you’re a Noob or Veteran. With the updated game speed you’ll be able to dive into the important stuff much quicker than before. Sitting in the lobbies & tedious menu’s screens are now a thing of the past. In the first hour or so you should be able to get your first gym badge and even some pretty bad-ass roller skates.

The updates to Mega Evolutions will certainly change the style of combat fighting. These special transformations will make Pokemon battles much more strategic and random. There are limitations on the Mega Evolution like before; You can only summon it once per battle and not everyone character has this ability.

The skills of the Pokemon characters have evolved to bring more variety and options straight to the battle field. The online trading & training capabilities is what set this game apart from the rest. You’ll need to play the game to experience the hidden gem behind the online training/trading Pokemon world, So stop reading this blog and start playing some Pokemon!!
